Six people, six biographies, six lives are fatefully intertwined, taking them on a perilous journey to their own true selves, without the two sets of protagonists ever meeting.

It is only the death of one figure from each strand that brings their fates together, inescapably linked from the very beginning. Starring Nurgül Yesilçay, Hanna Schygulla, Baki Davrak, Patrycia Ziolkowska, Nursel Köse and Tunçel Kurtiz.

Linked through encounters, relationships and even death, the fragile lives of six people connect on emotional voyages toward forgiveness and reconciliation in Germany and Turkey ...

Nejat (Baki Davrak) seems disapproving about his widower father Ali's (Tuncel Kurtiz) choice of prostitute Yeter (Nursel Köse) for a live-in girlfriend. But he grows fond of her when he discovers she sends money home to Turkey for her daughter's university studies. Yeter's sudden death distances father and son. Nejat travels to Istanbul to search for Yeter's daughter Ayten (Nurgül Yesilçay).
